In recent years, due to the harms of synthetic-added foods, consumers are turning to food products that contain natural food additives, less processed, safer, healthier and have a longer shelf life. Therefore, the food industry has focused on finding natural compounds as an alternative to synthetic food additives, both to meet the new demands of consumers and to increase market competitiveness. Due to these natural pursuits, medicinal and aromatic plants have found an increasingly widespread...

Cardiopulmonary bypass, which allows cardiac interventions, is a standard perfusion technique used in cardiac surgery, which provides cardiac arrest by using cardioplegic solutions and oxygenates the blood outside the body through extracorporeal circulation and redirects blood back to the patient. With the use of cardiopulmonary bypass technique, serious complications may develop in the perioperative and postoperative periods. One of the most important of these developing complications is...

There are not enough studies on the benefits and harms of traditional and uniform dietary restriction in dialysis patients. For example, many studies show that restriction of phosphorus in the diet of dialysis patients may lead to a worse nutritional status and will have a worse process. In addition, the restriction of potassium in the diet may deprive dialysis patients of healthy diets related to the heart. This may lead to the intake of more atherogenic diets. Another important point is that...

Laryngeal cyst is a rare entity that constitutes only 4.3-6% of all benign laryngeal tumors and epiglottic vallecular cyst (EVC) is a variant of laryngeal cysts. As EVCs mostly remain asymptomatic in adulthood, they are only followed-up without any intervention. However, recent studies have shown that EVCs are not as innocuous as they have previously been regarded. Therefore, the detection of these lesions is of clinical importance. The majority of the EVCs are unintentionally discovered by...

To the editor: The role of tobacco use in the development of diabetes can easily be missed possibly in the presence of other widely known risk factors. A regional study done in 2012 explores this relationship using data collected through a population-based survey [1]. The study is an example of how effectively the data collected through a cross-sectional survey can be used to address various population-level health issues. This article examines a positive relationship between tobacco use and...

Aim: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is usually marked by a rise in serum creatinine concentration or by azotemia (a rise in blood urea nitrogen concentration). Prerenal AKI represents the most common form of kidney injury and often leads to intrinsic AKI if it is not promptly corrected. Approximately 95% of consultations with nephrologists are related to AKI. The present study was designed to find the spectrum and outcomes of acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis in a tertiary care hospital....

Mucoceles of the paranasal sinus are benign expanding lesions that primarily occur between the fourth and seventh decades of life. Sinus mucoceles may develop due to the obstruction of the normal passageway by trauma, inflammation, mass lesions, idiopathic, or iatrogenic causes. The most common site for the evolution of a mucocele is within the frontal sinuses, followed in frequency by the ethmoidal, maxillary, and sphenoid sinuses. The symptoms depend on the location and size of the mucocele....

The plantar area is different from other parts of the skin because its unique structure is resistant to external stress from physical activities. However, hyperkeratotic local skin thickening due to standing for long periods of time, recurrent minor traumas, unsuitable shoe choice, or bone deformity is called a callus. This condition, which is seen in more than 78% of the population, is more frequent in older populations. Calluses may cause workload loss, difficulty in carrying out daily...

The increased survival of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) into adulthood leads an increased incidence of multiorgan dysfunction. The lung is one of the most common organs that may be involved in SCD. The pulmonary manifestations of SCD are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Although pulmonary manifestations of SCD are very common, they remain underdiagnosed by clinicians. The main pulmonary manifestations of SCD are acute chest syndrome, chronic dyspnea,...

Stump appendicitis is defined as re-inflammation of residual appendix tissue after incomplete appendectomy. Clinically, it presents with acute abdominal pain. Early diagnosis is vital for avoiding potential complications. A history of appendectomy lowers clinical suspicion and increases morbidity. Stump appendicitis should be considered as the diagnosis in patients with appendectomy presenting with lower right quadrant pain and signs of peritonitis. In this paper, we report a 51-year-old...

Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumors. Although lipomas often appear in subcutaneous locations, they may develop in any part of the body. Intrathoracic osteolipomas and the malignant degeneration of osteolipomas are very rare. However, surgical resection is required for the diagnosis and treatment of lipomas. Complete resection is the only definitive treatment and the only way of preventing relapse. In this paper, we present a literature review and a rare intrathoracic...
